Dog and bagpiper, Bowen, 1921

    THE HISTORY BEHIND THE HIGHLAND WEAR The history behind this type of dress, especially the kilt, is kind of interesting and engrained in some very historical events. An example is the “Dress Act,” which was enacted in 1746 by King George II. Under this rule of law, King George II outlawed a kilt-wearing a kilt, claiming that it represented revolt and unruliness by the Scottish people.

    ...In February 1900 Ceannt, along with Edward Martyn founded Cumann na bPíobairí (The Pipers Club). Ceannt's musical talents earned him a gold medal at the 1906 Oireachtas and in 1905 he even put on a performance for Pope Pius X. It is said that the main language in the Pipers Club was Irish and played a role in reviving Irish music. ... From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89amonn_Ceannt Ed. - The Pope performance happened in 1908 (not 1905). It was the Pope's Jubilee in Rome.

    In Drogheda during the week at the Fleadh Cheoil I saw a number of young people playing the Uileann Pipes with gusto. Eamonn Ceannt and the late Seamus Ennis would have been so proud!

    Swordscookie Very few use the regulators these days. It’s a shame. I have an LP of Leo Rowsome. Mighty playing.

    Bagpipes rather than uilleann pipes. They're not trad musicians, so, but they look like a Dublin crowd anyway.

    Clare elections, victory procession led by pipers, Countess Markievicz in white coat

    The only comment there was from some dude who said :
